Feathers of the Church’s wing,

Winkings of the powers that be,

Palate of the debauchee,

For a chance of deadly trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Gushings of hysteric craze,

Prayers of saints of latter days,

Latest rags of virgin veil,

Little coins of blackest mail,

War-cry of blaspheming throats,
